Schottky Diode (Note)

This is the symbol for the schottky diode, it is quite similar to the symbol of the normal diode. The voltage drop for the schottky diode is about 3 volts to 5 volts which is lower then the voltage drop for the rectifier diode. It can be shown in the V-I graph of the diodes. […]

Ripple Factor (Note)

Ripple Factor For Half Wave Rectifier As we know, this is the waveform of the output voltage of the half wave rectifier circuit. It is a pulsating DC voltage with some finite AC variation called ripple on top of it. For any rectifier, this ripple factor should be as small as possible, as the smaller […]

Full Wave Rectifier (Note)

The full wave rectifier allows the use of both half of the input signal as it completely pass the positive half cycle and inverts the negative half cycle. Notice that in the output wave form, the frequency of the output waveform has been doubled, as the wave is repeating itself every T/2 period. There are […]

Half Wave Rectifier (Note)

AC To DC Conversion Since the diode only allows current to flow in one direction, one application of it is to convert alternative current to direct current. The process of converting the AC to DC is known as rectification. When a sine wave is applied as an input signal to the half wave rectifier, it […]
